Delegates from the various subordinate
lodges of farmers alliances met here on

the County Superintendent and school

There were located 80 districts-32 white,
and II colored. The schools were order
ed to be opened-for the winter term, ON
the LIST Monday in November, 1857, and
for the summer term the 1st Monday in
June, 1888.

modified by the sweet strains of Prof.
Parker's singing school which WAS going
on at the same time in the Court House.
The Superintendent has been spending
the past 5 weeks inspecting his schools,
and expects to finish the work this
week. He finds them for the most part
very full, but don't think the work so etti-
Gent as was the winter schools. This de-
feet he attributes almost entirely to the
seasons, and he says it is confirming evil
dencc to him that winter is the time for
our schools. With but few exceptions he
finds the houses too small and open, and
very poorly provided with furniture, but
he finds in many places the proper spirit
developing, and thinks ohr people will
not long remain behind in the matter of
buildings.

This State is getting mighty hard
on murderers. Judge Pcyton sent
Hamilton and Eubanks to Jail
without bail, Judge Cooper did like
wise with Ben and Walter Collum,
of Kinds county, who killed Capt.
Landrum in this county; Chatham,
the slayer of Hoskins, suffered the
same indignity at the hands OF
Judge Campbell, and HUMPHREYS, a
half brother of Hon. W W. Hum
phries, of Lowndes county, who is
charged with the murder of an old
negro at night, met the same fate
from Judge Critz. If the juries OF
the country will only follow up the
noble examples set them by these
able and impartial Judges, then in
deed will the edict 90 forth that hu-
man life in Mississippi is justly
regarded as dear, and that he who
lakes it without just cause must ex
pect the punishment which his
crime merits.-I0zOo Sentinel.

rendering a decision against law and
justice, got brass band and filed
themselves with beer and sercnaded
Hamilton in his princely mansion,
assuring him of their undying loyal.
" and confidence in him, sercnaded
his lawyers and his organ, the Clar-
ion, and made night hideous with
their drunken orgies. The people
remember the desperate attempt
made by Hamilton and bis chief
attorney to besmirch District-Attor-
ney Miller and the Kinds county
grand jury by that now infamous
plea in abatement framed and pub
lished to excite public sympathy for
their cry of persecution, and above
all, they know how Hamilton's in
fluence at this moment permeates
and ramifiCs nearly every depart
ment of the State Government and
that the moral and political power
of all these, together with a subsid-
lied press, will be brought TO bear
to defeat the ends of justice and
compass his acquital. They know
that it is reproduction ,on an cnlarg
ed scale, of the noted Ford and Muir
phey case which tested to their ut
most tension the integrity and eff
cheney of the Louisiana courts few
short years ago, but resulted in the
triumphant vindication of Justice
after the people hal been aroused as
never before, and that the same
methods resorted to by the defense
in that case will figure with greater
power in the trial of Hamilton
that bribery, bulldozing, suborna
ton of perjury and every other
agency that characterized the Ford
and Murphy case will characterize
this.
These are some of the reasons
why the people and the unshackled
press have spoken out in thunder
tones, and will continue to watch
with undated interest every step in
this noted case. We have the ut
most confidence IN the integrity
and fidelity Of Judge Mayors and
District Attorney Huddleston, and
we feel confident nothing stands be-
tween Hamilton ct al and the gal.
lows but some sort of technicality
or corruption beyond the Courts
control. But the people demand
that justice be done though the
heavens fall.

last Saturday, giving him 10 votes

The Clarion of last week made

The Clarion of last week made a
statement of the State debt down
to July lst, 1887. 1t shows that
the increase in the State debt
since the first day of January, 1882,
to the first day of July, 1887, is
$900,1S03l. And yet q cheeky
correspondent of The State Ledger
says the State under Lowry's admin,
istration has decreased the payable
debt.

Mr.. Jefferson Davis is squirming
under the criticisms of Bishop
Galloway, Mrs. Smell and other
prominent Mississippians on his
now famous anti-Prohibition letter
TO Governor Lubbock, of Texas, and
well he may. There was moth
ing whatever great about that
letter except the name signed to
it-a name that has now been
dimmed by a shadow it will never
survive. How sad that one who
stood so pre- eminently exalted in
the estimation of Southerners
should, at one fell stroke of his pen,
commit an act that has shaken the
confidence and destroyed the tender
reverence for him of more than a
million of the South's best men and
women.
